Synopsis:
Father "Chuck" O'Malley (Bing Crosby) is dispatched to fix up an inner-city parochial school on its last legs, and his easy-going, unconventional demeanour instantly clashes with that of the firm, no-nonsense Sister Superior Mary Benedict (Ingrid Bergman), who is keeping the school open through sheer will and faith alone. Over the course of the school year, the pair bicker and ultimately bond over their differing visions on how to save the school - and the role a miserly businessman (Henry Travers) who wants the building condemned might play in doing so.
